the ultimate abort thread .gif

[–]tarheel295 225 points226 points ago

[–]Linkzor24 21 points22 points ago

Should flash the text, because a gif as awesome as this need flashing text! For maximum epicosity of course.

[–]tarheel295 3 points4 points ago

i didnt know how...looked around on how to do it for like 20 minutes

[–]millybartin 39 points40 points ago

If you used photoshop it's really easy, PM me if you want to know how... for future reference. http://i.imgur.com/w4EYm.gif

[–]tarheel295 2 points3 points ago

much better than mine

[–]millybartin 2 points3 points ago

Did someone say MAXIMUM EPICOSITY?

Edit: I made this gif, posted it here in response to the person asking for flashing text, and also posted it elsewhere in the same thread. One gets downvoted and the other gets upvoted. Reddit is a fickle, fickle mistress.

[–]uneekfreek 34 points35 points ago

Needs to be longer

[–]tarheel295 23 points24 points ago

sorry man

[–]Xanthan81 7 points8 points ago

Don't be sorry, they say it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

[–]almikez 5 points6 points ago

Well I'll part that bitch like Moses

[–]badgrafxghost 4 points5 points ago

...as an ocean, I can confirm this.

[–]qnnplmr 2 points3 points ago

Source checks out.

[–]KeepRightExcept2Pass 1 point2 points ago

I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means small craft advisory.

[–]GreyCastle -3 points-2 points ago

It's not the size of the boat that counts, it's the amount of African slaves with huge black cocks are on that boat.

[–]whitestkidyouknow77 1 point2 points ago

Wat

[–]hjtango 0 points1 point ago

i found myself wondering the same thing as well.

[–]HumphreyMalone 7 points8 points ago

That's what she said.

[–]uneekfreek 3 points4 points ago

You just have to be that guy don't you...

[–]The_Horse_Yeller 3 points4 points ago

Boy, that de-escalated quickly.

[–]bmores8 0 points1 point ago

someone should photoshop goatse into that gif...

[–]tarheel295 10 points11 points ago

thats the exact same

[–]Slakter 3 points4 points ago

Lol no, I made that just after he jumped but I didn't feel the need to post it to Reddit. Nice that someone liked it though!

Futura Bold with a black stroke is the shit by the way.

[–]older_soul 49 points50 points ago

Or in thread, if in reverse

[–]That_Extra_Mile 26 points27 points ago

"Hey, um...guys, remember how I said I was gonna fall from space and stuff? Yeah.....about that.....I'm changing my decision to jump now. Sorry to disappoint everyone..."

[–]sim006 4 points5 points ago

"We're not done with you"

It is perfectly legible.

[–]eatsox117 -2 points-1 points ago

It needs to happen or else all hope for humanity is lost.

[–]Brett_Favre_4 -4 points-3 points ago

Damn it! Know every single large thread on reedit will have this gif.

[–]Serotone 27 points28 points ago

[–]Monkey_Cannon 7 points8 points ago

My only thought was he should have said something impressive to quote.. He just jumped.. I was disapointed.

[–]JennM42 7 points8 points ago

He did say something, it was just really garbled. All I caught was "I'm really high... I'm going over coming home"

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eVjhQXRDa4

edited quote for accuracy

[–]TheFrizz 4 points5 points ago

It sounded to me like he said something like "I'm coming home".

[–]MrSomethingHeroic 1 point2 points ago

This is what I heard.

[–]Monkey_Cannon 0 points1 point ago

Ah, when we were watching I couldn't hear it

[–]Shinobi_24 2 points3 points ago

I heard something to the effect of "You realize how small you are. I'm coming home" Then he jumped

[–]iamthenewone 1 point2 points ago

'sometimes you have to go up really high to realize how small you are'

[–]cobra_2109 5 points6 points ago

Has he hit yet? ಠ_ಠ

[–]B0und 18 points19 points ago

First thing I thought after watching the live stream. Whoever makes a GIF of the exit from the capsule will be rolling in karma....holy shit it's your cake day?

See you on the front page! salute

[–]HYPN007IC 23 points24 points ago

Well that deescalated quickly.

[–]GroovenileDelinquent 2 points3 points ago

Haha, I got it

[–]EpicFishFingers -2 points-1 points ago

Round of applause for this person

[–]lean_back 6 points7 points ago

I will surely tell about this moment to my grand kids! And I am proud to say that I watched the whole thing, it was actually pretty interesting with a really good commentator.

[–]shangrallama 1 point2 points ago

They'll never forget the jump, but everyone will forget about New Mexico after about three days.

[–]hoddap 5 points6 points ago

TIL apparently posting it to /r/pics gives you three times the karma!

[–]JennM42 3 points4 points ago

Why does the xbox achievement sound go off in my head when the world record pops up?

[–]Kongo204 2 points3 points ago

Nice to see that this... fell on your cakeday huh?

[–]pygmyzombie 5 points6 points ago

And with that, Felix disappeared into your mom.

[–]ChefBoyarDEZZNUTZZ 4 points5 points ago

Are you getting excited for high school?

[–]freetonik 6 points7 points ago

[–]MajoraThief 1 point2 points ago

You really didn't waste any time did you?

[–]The_Maddog 0 points1 point ago

You know whats so great....everyone was there with him. Huzzah for the internet!

[–]AstroZombie1 1 point2 points ago

Atleast we know the terminal velocity of a average human from that height is around 720mph. :D

[–]Arminas 0 points1 point ago

He went 834 mph at his fastest.

[–]triplea20x 0 points1 point ago

Shouldn't that speed knock him unconscious?

[–]TheDiruo 0 points1 point ago

Wile E Coyote was the first thing to come to my mind at that bit.

[–]CmdrCarrot 0 points1 point ago

Title should of been "I'll be there in a few minutes..."

[–]Psythik 0 points1 point ago

I thought the dive was canceled?

[–]griff85 1 point2 points ago

When they tried to do it last Monday or Tuesday they had to cancel it because of wind. Today, as you can see, he was able to launch and jump.

[–]willo_sea 0 points1 point ago

Is it just me or does the timer start too late?

[–]Nautilis 0 points1 point ago

"I'm coming home."

[–]Th3pinkrabbit 0 points1 point ago

And it begins...

[–]talkingdingo 0 points1 point ago

How about, "Nope. Not even once."

[–]torandicus 1 point2 points ago

You can pretend to flick him off the platform with this GIF.

[–]1st_analrapist 0 points1 point ago

Take it SLEEEZZZYY!!!

[–]ZlayerCake 0 points1 point ago

Aaaand he's gone ...

[–]D3AllDay 1 point2 points ago

Dear god even thinking about doing that is scaring the shit out of me. This guy has massive balls bigger than my head.

[–]Zachary9 0 points1 point ago

[–]tictac1211 1 point2 points ago

Someone make a downvote gif with this!

[–]Hannakatt 0 points1 point ago

[–]kulrajwashere 0 points1 point ago

Only on a cakeday can you get away with reposting a gif thats on the front page

[–]korimus -1 points0 points ago

+1 for the Navy SEALs reference.

[–]Reggae4Triceratops 1 point2 points ago

[–]MBSquared 0 points1 point ago

[–]jdunbar 0 points1 point ago

[–]Daamus -1 points0 points ago

[–]ThanklessTask 0 points1 point ago

The other posting of this is much better.

[–]Sad_King_Billy 0 points1 point ago

Two versions of the same gif on the front page at the same time? Stay cool, reddit.

[–]Admiral_Spanky 0 points1 point ago

if anyone wants to see the last time a jump like that was made.

[–]preo 0 points1 point ago

i feel that felix is a really down to earth person

[–]bigotkillerx 1 point2 points ago

Can someone do "Fuck it, I'm out" with this? And if it's already done, can someone point me to it? Thanks in advance.

[–]airmasszero 0 points1 point ago

Another gif of a video we can all watch on youtube. Why is everyone upvoting? Also, there are more than one on the frontpage.

[–]C-pain787 1 point2 points ago

no matter what argument he's losing he can just drop... "yeah well i skydived from fucking space"

[–]PoTaToeChips 1 point2 points ago

I must go, my planet needs me.

[–]RUbernerd 0 points1 point ago

I'd woosh him, but the atmosphere already has.

[–]peachesgp 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who's started down voting all these since I've seen I think 4 of the same exact gif on the front page so far today.

[–]Commentits 0 points1 point ago

Can someone photoshop him landing like Coyote and Roadrunner and making a little dust cloud?

[–]DanjoKazooie 1 point2 points ago

Big gulps, huh? All right, well... See ya' later!

[–]knight4646 0 points1 point ago

[–]trionisus -1 points0 points ago

So where in the suit did they fit his massive balls.

[–]Hurriquake 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit lawl, look at OP's first comment on his user page. Karma whoring with pride!

[–]OverAllGENIUS[!] 1 point2 points ago

Is it my cakeday?

Edit: that will be a yes.

[–]Chewy96 0 points1 point ago

Shoulda had the second before when he saluted.

[–]weisrmeistr 0 points1 point ago

His massive balls helped him reach past the sound barrier.

[–]samx3i -1 points0 points ago

This song comes to mind for reason.

[–]samx3i 2 points3 points ago

Who the fuck downvotes Tom Petty? This is one of the best songs fucking ever!

[–]CmdrCarrot -4 points-3 points ago

Um, no. That song is about committing suicide.

[–]samx3i 11 points12 points ago

What the fuck? No it isn't!

"She's a good girl, loves her mama Loves Jesus and America, too She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis Loves horses and her boyfriend, too"

  • Paints a picture of this girl, a perfect all-American who's never done wrong.

"It's a long day livin' in Reseda There's a freeway runnin' through the yard And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart"

  • He's a bad boy cause he took a perfect girl and broke her heart for no apparent reason. He knows it was wrong, yet he doesn't feel bad like everyone thinks he should.

"And I'm free, I'm free fallin'"

  • He's glad that he got out of the relationship, because he couldn't bear to be tied down like that and now he feels free.

"All the vampires walkin' through the valley Move west down Ventura Blvd. And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows And the good girls are home with broken hearts"

  • The vampires are sort of undead, shadowy, mysterious characters. The 'bad boys' are hanging out on street corners, whilst the 'good girls' are staying in and having to bear the weight of the pain that the boys caused.

"And I'm free, I'm free fallin'"

"I wanna glide down over Mulholland I wanna write her name in the sky I wanna free fall out into nothin' Gonna leave this world for awhile"

  • He feels free, yet he still loves her. Writing someone's name in the sky is an awful grand gesture and shows he still has feelings for her, despite feeling so much more free without her.

"And I'm free, I'm free fallin'"

Overall, to me this song is about a boy who broke the heart of a "good girl" because he wasn't happy in a relationship. He's saying that the girl did nothing wrong, but he couldn't be with her. After breaking up with her, he feels free and independent.

[–]Zachary9 1 point2 points ago

bah fucking zing

[–]CmdrCarrot 0 points1 point ago

And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

I wanna free fall, out into nothin' Gonna leave this, world for awhile

The whole metaphor is he is committing suicide.
